I know how you feel, Alban. My wife and I got a really scientific way to do it: flipping a coin. Before we leave, my son will be the one to flip the coin. Heads, the long route. Tails, the shorter route. Gotta be honest. Sometimes, I feel my wife and son are in cahoots with each other. Since we started doing this early this year, it's always been heads.

Back when our kids were younger, we've always had to get the fastest route because they're way too excited to get there. Nowadays, we are able to enjoy going through the more scenic routes. Really relaxing and gives us something more to talk about.
